LINCOLN
- Illinois American Water will conduct water main flushing in
Lincoln beginning Monday, Oct. 3, 2016 as part of its annual
distribution system maintenance program. The routine work is being

Oct. 13, 2016.

“The flushing program is designed not only to maintain a high
quality of water in the Lincoln distribution system, but to inspect
and operate fire hydrants to assure they are in good working order
as well,” said Gabe Bowden, operations superintendent for the
Lincoln District.
No interruptions in water service will occur as a result of the
work. Illinois American Water advises that when crews are flushing
nearby, customers may experience a slight drop in water pressure or
discoloration of their water. Illinois American Water does not
foresee incidences of discoloration, but if this does occur, it is
recommended that customers let their cold water run to clear before
using it again and refrain from doing laundry during that time.
If problems persist, customers should notify Illinois American Water
at (800) 422-2782. More information is available at
